local VS.. National Prohihitinn-

The New York Times says: The
proposition to submit a. constitutional
amendment prohibiting the sale of in
toXicating liquors in Massachusetts
has been overwhelmingly defeated by
the lower branch of the legislature.
The claim is often made by prohibi.
tionists that the people have right to
pass upon this question for themselves,
and that the opportunity should be
given by submitting constitutional
amendment. But the people do pass
upon it in effect every year in electing
representatives, and if they want a
prohibitory law they can have it by
electing Legislators who will pass one.
LII they do not want a prohibitory law.
why should they want constitutional
prohibition? Legislators who do not
believe in prohibition and who are
chosen not To promote it, cannot be
expected to favor constitutional
amendment having it in view. Besides,
prohibition is a matter that depends
for its enforcement upon local senti-
ment and any town or city in Massa-
chusetts that wants it now can have it
now by simply voting against the grant
ing of licenses.
Local sentiment may succeed in
localities in securing relative prohibi.
tion. AS liquor selling and liquor
drinking are general evils they will
have to be met with general laws. Lo-
cal sentiment does not govern the
United States license and even state
constitutional law in Maine fails to
govern SO as to secure absolute prOhi-
bitiOn because of conflicting United
States law and so contra to the Times.
Prohibition to be absolute must be
national, i. e., every nation must be a
law unto itself.-[Oshkosh Signal.

Good Advice.

j. n. True, one of the most expert
enced farmers of Sank county, Wis,
in writing letter to the Western
Farmer on the bad effects of the
drOuth puts in the following bit OF
valuable experience and good advice.
We would add one thing; buy the bran
if you have to pay SIS ton.
Last year our hay crop was greatly
shortened by drouth. | had upon my
hands few well bred brood mares, a
number of promising colts, and few
well bred cattle. My farm needed this
stock if it was to do anything for me
the coming year. | had about two.
thirds my usual amount of hay for
such a stock, little straw, few oats,
but a good crop of corn. | bought
heavily of wheat bran, cut and stored
all my corn fodder, put my straw
where it could not be trampled under
foot, and with the full knowledge of
the necessity of economy, commenced
the winter. My stock never was in
better shape in the spring than last.
My colts had grown finely, my brood
mares had dropped strong, vigorous
colts, and my cattle were in fine con-
dition. | thought had made a dis
covery; hence in the present emergen-
cy, advise-if you have good stock
such as it pays to keep at all--don't
sacrifice il. Make the most of your
crops. Watch the prices of bran and
other mill feeds, and when you can
buy bran for ten dollars or less per ton,
fill up, storing in dry airy place.
Plan to feed more grain feeds and less
hay the coming winter, and see if you
do not continue the practice, even when
plenty again file our barns with hay"
